Using *-iso10646-1 X11 fonts with Netscape 4.06

I am using Netscape Communicator Version 4.06 [en] - 98225 under Linux 2.0
and XFree86 3.2.

I am looking at the UTF-8 test page

  http://www.macchiato.com/mark/unicode/UTF8List.htm

I have correctly installed the Unicode font

  -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1

as available from

  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/download/ucs-fonts.tar.gz

on my X server, but Communicator does not allow me to select this font
(which has a much larger repertoire than the quite built-in
"NSPseudoFonts" that Communicator offers me only as fonts for UTF-8).

Does anyone here know, how I can bring Communicator 4.06 to use a proper
normal X11 ISO 10646-1 font offered by the X11 server for displaying
UTF-8 files, instead of these strange builtin fonts? Or is it a bug that
Netscape Communicator does not offer me the *-iso10646-1 fonts offered
by the server in the UTF-8 font menu?
